Snowy Range Moose Scouting

[highplainsdrifter]

My wife drew a Wyoming Snowy Range bull moose tag. We made three scouting trips in late July and August...one to the north end, one in the middle and one to the south end. The trips produced 10 moose in the north, 9 moose in the middle and 5 in the south. Unfortunately, none were quite big enough (see attached pictures). But it was very warm and there were people everywhere. We hope to get into the big ones when it cools down and the rut kicks in.

We'll be heading out soon...this time for the real thing. If anyone has seen a monster up there, please let us know.

Looking forward to the hunt!

Thanks for sharing! Looks like you had a good time and seen quite a few moose.

Like you said hopefully the big one show in the coming weeks. Good luck and keep us posted partner.
Good luck. Looking forward to pics & videos.

As I'm sure you know, it'll only get better as the weather cools down. I've been fortunate to go on 8 WY moose hunts (me twice, wife, dad, brother, etc.) and it seems like the 1st week of Oct. is the sweet spot. Good luck to your wife.

Where are you staying? I hunted that area awhile ago, not for moose though. We rented a cabin above Centinel? We saw moose along the hwy going west .

My 70 year old wife is not capable of shooting a compound bow. But we have been practicing with a crossbow and she's deadly So, we'll try to get one with a bow and if that doesn't work we'll turn to a rifle on October 1st.

We have a travel trailer and will be staying close to where we plan to hunt. Love the trailer. We spend about 40 nights a year in it.

Did the fire mess up your hunt?

Don't overlook the Sierra Madres. Most elk hunters will readily tell you where they see moose.

And the Sierra's will be overrun with elk hunters soon.

Yep you hit the nail on the head on that quote!

Found this one yesterday, away from the fire in your hunt area. I made one call to him and he marched right up out of the pines to 15 yards. We don't have a moose tag, but he looks good to me!
